A conservative researcher says homosexual activists are implementing several strategies to market their political agenda. Those strategies include a tactic known as "conversion" -- and continued efforts aimed at the movement's primary target: kids in the early years of school.
To homosexual-rights activists, conversion is a planned psychological attack spread through the media. Paul Rondeau, a doctoral student in persuasion studies at Regent University, says the strategy involves wearing society down to the point where just accepting homosexuality is much less of a burden than continuing to "fight the fight" for the good of American values.
"Health care alone for AIDS infection and man-to-man sex is still the number-one [cause for the] spread of the disease," Rondeau says. "It's going to cost $31 billion [in health-care costs]. But they've done an excellent job of portraying it as everyone's disease, which it now has become. But in fact, it certainly did start -- at least in America -- in the gay bathhouses."
The researcher says despite their overwhelming presence in the media, and their success within the federal government, private organizations, and even mainstream denominations, homosexual activists' primary target remains elementary school children. Rondeau says a homosexual author put it this way: "Whoever captures the kids owns the future."
"They are growing a population, a generation, where sexually oriented [and] homosexual-positive images are being used as reading material starting as early as kindergarten and the first grade -- where kids are the most vulnerable and the most open to learning from authority figures," he says. "That's really the leading edge of the campaign -- and it's working."
He says half of all college freshmen believe homosexuality should be legal, but only 15% of individuals 65 and older agree.
Rondeau has published a paper entitled "Selling Homosexuality to America," [PDF] in which he explores how homosexual activists use the elements of modern marketing -- rhetoric, psychology, social psychology, and the media -- to position homosexuality in a positive fashion for public debate.
In that paper, Rondeau states that homosexual rights is not about the attainment of truth or social justice -- but the achievement of power. "The battle centers on the control of public discourse through marketing and persuasion, to shape what society thinks about and how they think about it," he writes.
He concludes the paper by saying that homosexual activists envision that a decision on homosexuality is ultimately made without society ever realizing that it has been purposely conditioned to arrive at a conclusion that it thinks is its own.
Rondeau is now set to publish a book detailing how Americans are "being sold a bill of goods" by homosexual activists.

Just what, exactly, does legality have to do with this? Are cops now going to invade people's bedrooms to see if two women are together? |

They were wired that way and because of ignorance they were so shunned by society they hung and shoot themselves to death. |
Compared with their heterosexual peers, homosexual men were at greater risk for psychiatric disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, and simple phobia. ---Theo G. M. Sandfort, Archives of General Psychiatry Vol. 58, Number . , 2001. Page(s) 85-91. SO MUCH FOR HOMOPHOBIA
Relationship violence was found to be a significant problem for homosexuals. Forty-four (44) percent of the gay men reported having experienced violence in their relationships; 13 percent reported sexual violence and 83 percent reported emotional abuse. Levels of abuse ran even higher among lesbians: 55 percent reported physical violence in their relationships, 14 percent reported sexual abuse, and 84 percent reported emotional abuse. Susan C. Turrell,Journal of Family Violence Vol. 13, Number . , 2000. Page(s) 281-293.
Violence and Homosexuality The top six U.S. male serial killers were all gay.
The median age of death for those who regularly engage in homosexual behavior leaned in the direction of less than 50. The data suggest a "20- to 30-year decrease in lifespan" because of "substantially evelated rates of sexually elevated diseases . . . cancer and heart conditions, and violence among homosexual men and women." Paul Cameron, Psychological Reports,Vol. 83, Number . , 1998. Page(s) 847-866.
Almost one-third (29.7 percent) of gays and nearly one-half (47.5 percent) of lesbians reported being or having been the victim of relationship violence. In addition, 22 percent of gays and 38 percent of lesbians admitted using violence against their partners. Lisa Walder-Haugrad, Violence and Victims Vol. 12, Number . , 1997. Page(s) 173-184.
Isn't that (name) encouraging the sterotype?
Just more "homophobia" I suppose?
You know, you really shouldn't be throwing that word around. It implies there is no legitimate reason to dislike the gay agenda and further that there is something wrong with you if you don't.
That's obviously not true; you should be more careful in your choice of words.

What are you going to say to the person that comes on here and tells you about their children that are homosexual? |

has a way of ignoring the Constitution. |
Sect. XIV. Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy* with a man or woman, shall be punished; if a man, by castration, a woman, by boring through the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch in diameter at the least.
* Paragraph 25. H. 8. C. 6. Buggery is twofold. 1. With mankind, 2. With beasts. Buggery is the Genus, of which Sodomy and Bestiality, are the species. 12. Co. 37. Says, "note that Sodomy is with mankind." But Finch's L. B. 3. c. 24. "Sodomiary is a carnal copulation against nature, to wit, of man or woman in the same sex, or of either of them with beasts." 12. Co. 36. Says, "it appears by the ancient authorities of the law that this was felony." Yet the 25. H. 8. Declares it felony, as if supposed not the be so.... B. Fleta, L. i. c. 37. says, "pecorantes et Sodomitae in terra vivi confodiantur." The Mirror makes it treason. Bestiality can never make any progress; it cannot therefore be injurious to society in any great degree, which is the true measure of criminality in foro civili, and will ever be properly and severely punished, by universal derision. It may, therefore, be omitted. It was anciently punished with death, as it has been latterly. Ll. Aelfrid. 31. and 25. H. 8. c. 6. see Beccaria. Paragraph 31. Montesq.

Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 US 186 (1986)
After being charged with violating the Georgia statute criminalizing sodomy by committing that act with another adult male in the bedroom of his home, respondent Hardwick (respondent) brought suit in Federal District Court, challenging the constitutionality of the statute insofar as it criminalized consensual sodomy. The court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded, holding that the Georgia statute violated respondent's fundamental rights.
Held: The Georgia statute is constitutional. Pp. 190-196 .
(a) The Constitution does not confer a fundamental right upon homosexuals to engage in sodomy. None of the fundamental rights announced in this Court's prior cases involving family relationships, marriage, or procreation bear any resemblance to the right asserted in this case. And any claim that those cases stand for the proposition that any kind of private sexual conduct between consenting adults is constitutionally insulated from state proscription is unsupportable. Pp. 190-191 .
(b) Against a background in which many States have criminalized sodomy and still do, to claim that a right to engage in such conduct is "deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition" or "implicit in the concept of ordered liberty" is, at best, facetious. Pp. 191-194 .
(c) There should be great resistance to expand the reach of the Due Process Clauses to cover new fundamental rights. Otherwise, the Judiciary necessarily would take upon itself further authority to govern the country without constitutional authority. The claimed right in this case falls far short of overcoming this resistance. Pp. 194-195 .
(d) The fact that homosexual conduct occurs in the privacy of the home does not affect the result. Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557 , distinguished. Pp. 195-196 .
(e) Sodomy laws should not be invalidated on the asserted basis that majority belief that sodomy is immoral is an inadequate rationale to support the laws. P. 196 .
I don't have a problem with free speech. It's your ridiculous speech I was addressing.
I didn't, re-read the post.
I did not mention "Guam" I only addressed your ridiculous, laughable speech. I did not mention "profiteer" either.
You're obviously a mess.
I will tell them to sober up and stop using ridiculous, made up terms like "homophobe"
I never mentioned "Guam" see above.
